Altfriesisches Haus
Altfriesisches Haus Keitum
A captain's residence built in 1739 in Keitum, now a museum whose rooms are furnished as they were, showing how the people of North Frisia lived in the past.
The Old Frisian House is a thatched captain's home built in Keitum in 1739. Its interior is furnished as it would have been in the 18th and 19th centuries, with Dutch Delft blue tile walls, box beds, a kitchen and a garden, presenting island life in the whaling era. It belongs to the same museum association as the nearby Sylt Museum, and a combined ticket is available. It is small, and a visit takes about 30–45 minutes, so it pairs well with a stroll through Keitum village.
Opening hours
About April-October, 11:00-17:00
